It had better be more than a myth - all the advertising that has no doubt resulted in many preorders state that it is a 2-CD set.

It's dreadful, everything's so uncertain isn't it? I mean this very post could be the basis of yet another rumour if we're not careful. I don't know about you but the tension's really getting to me now. I simply can't make any future plans or even leave the house until this tracklist is published.

Why on earth should we be forced to wait until THEY are ready to release this information...it's a scandal!

I pre-ordered all of them not knowing what the tracklistings consist of. I know it's crazy, but I like living on the edge.

My guess is that we will get the original album, all alternates, and maybe the undubbed masters.

The shopelvis site says release date of July 27.

We can all understand how you've been driven to this Rob---their strategy appears designed to encourage desperate behaviour like this.

Personally, I feel that as customers we deserve better.

I heard that Raised On Rock has about 23 tracks on CD 1 and about 26 tracks on CD 2........

But I believe this particular album wasn't overdubbed or that overdubbs were very few, except the september tracks and Girl Of Mine.

Ton,

I'll be looking forward to seeing the track listing for "Raised On Rock." Hope you can give us the tracks on "Easy Come, Easy Go" as well.

Actually, the second CD consists of Ernst trying to sound like Elvis, singing classics such as "You Ain’t Nuthin’ but a How-Wow" and "In the Geek-o".

I don't mind not knowing the track-listing as long as we don't get shafted by having ALL previously released alternate tracks added on. A method thats been used a LOT before by Ernst has been alternate 1st and later takes issued. Presumably its something like this approach we will EVENTUALLY find out on 'Raided on Rock?' i too note that Amazon say July 9th but it will be fundamentally amazing to FINALLY know whats even on the release, this 'mystery' until its out is a bit like knowing your getting a bike (you dreamed of for christmas) but having NO IDEA what make,style or size or how many gears!!! crazy!

After having a bit of a browse through Kieth Flyns excellent 70's recording sessions i (guess) we may find some interesting stuff on this 'raised on rock' FTD. Reason being that many very early 'takes' have NOT been released(yet) for
raised on rock, for ol times sake,just a little bit,iv'e got a thing about you baby,takes 1-3 not released yet of 'find out whats happening' or girl of mine. yet WE HAVE HAD early takes from take good care of her. Thus this previous policy of giving us very FIRST takes AND a later one could give us something interesting IF? this is how the 2 CD raised on Rock has been compiled-but then have they found any alternates to raised on rock? cannot wait to read what they really are?

My friend has yet only a request for downloading Raised On Rock on a certain download-site , is not downloading yet...sorry guys...don't shoot the messenger...I had a good word with my friend....

Now THAT I can believe !!!

It will be interesting to hear if this summer 73 Stax studio compilation produces any alternates superior to the masters.

I've always felt that the Raised On Rock sessions find Elvis at an extreme career low point. A "over medicated" Elvis on downers facing a pending divorce and poorly singing a batch of generally substandard material. It's hard to believe this is the same phenomenal singer heard on TTWII a mere three years earlier.

Yes.

And what an improvement just a few months later, in the December, when he returned to Stax & cut some fairly decent tracks like "Loving Arms" and "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues".
